VIM3 won't boot into Krescue or Oowow with 22.04 Ubuntu

Which Khadas SBC do you use?

VIM3 Basic

Which system do you use? Android, Ubuntu, OOWOW or others?

Ubuntu

Which version of system do you use? Khadas official images, self built images, or others?

vim3-ubuntu-22.04-server-linux-5.15-fenix-1.6.3-240112.img.xz

Please describe your issue below:

I need to be able to dump an image to an SD card using either Oowow or Krescue so I can replicate across many VIM3-based devices.

I was able to do this when we were using the 20.04 distribution. Now that we are moving our devices to 22.04, once the OS is installed (either via the SD or USB), neither Krescue nor Oowow will boot. Is there an update to either one of those which will allow me to do this? Or is there another method or dumping the EMMC?

Hello @Ingeniero

Do you want to boot oowow from SD/USB ? And if you install Ubuntu 22.04 in eMMC, the oowow can’t bootup?

Hi @Ingeniero
1.If VIM3’s EMMC burns 5.15 kernel firmware, the OOWOW firmware on the SD card will not run.
2.This issue will be fixed later and will be updated here.

Thank you for your quick replies. I am in the later stages of moving our software to the 5.15 kernel distro so I don’t need it immediately, however, is there an approximate timeframe on when this will be fixed? Or is there another way to extract the OS from the EMMC to burn to multiple devices?

@Ingeniero
I’m sorry for replying to you so late. we have resolved this issue. please execute the following command on VIM3 to update uboot.

wget https://dl.khadas.com/.test/linux-u-boot-vim3-vendor_1.6.7-2015.01-5.15_arm64.deb 
sudo dpkg -i linux-u-boot-vim3-vendor_1.6.7-2015.01-5.15_arm64.deb 
sync
reboot
